That's just not fair. I know that look, "you! what are you doin'? I'm going back to sleep."

Is this Princess Babu??? She is positively royal, and the colors (her own and her princely bed) are simply divine!

Oh, Julian...this so reminds me of our cat, Oscar. He was a sweetheart. Same pattern except, he had a black spot right on his chin. Great mood. Love it!

Charley Parker

Beautiful.

Wonderful contrasts in texture and value, and strong compositional contrast between the fluid forms of the cat and afghan against the geometric grid of the stretcher frames.

Notable, too, for stepping outside your customary range of subjects.

Also looks like a nice studio companion. (A hair in your cadmium yellow? Who, me?)

Perfect! I too, once had a tuxedo cat. We named him 'Bela' as in 'Legosi'. I seriously doubt that there are more beautiful cats than these little folks in their fancy suits.
